ANN ARBOR, MI – Another new housing development is in the works near the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor.

The proposed four-story building with balconies overlooking UM’s Elbel Field features a rooftop solar array, a rooftop terrace surrounded by green roof areas, ground-floor retail space and parking for bicycles and cars.

A total of six rental apartments are shown in the plans recently submitted to the city, each with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, for a total of 18 beds.
